Bacalhau.
This is salted cod. The process was invented to have food on the long sea journeys, but is still a staple in Portuguese cuisine.
Then we went to the Church of St. Dominic. It was started in 1242 but got destroyed in the 1755 disaster of the earthquake, fire and then tsunami. (A third of Lisbon’s population perished)
They rebuilt the church, and then it burned down again in 1959.
Not having enough money to fix it yet, only the roof got fixed and now they are just using it as it is. The walls and pillars are stilled scarred, and you can still see melted/burned statues.
In all the churches I have ever been in, this is probably one of the more unusual ones.
